Signed vs. Un-Signed? - HD7 General

Hello,
I've noticed that between all the ROM's released by ansar and football, some are named "signed" and some are named "unsigned". I was just wondering, what's the difference?
Thanks,
Peter

Signed ROMs can be flashed on stock SPL, but they are limited to phones from a certain region or carrier.
Unsigned ROMs can be flashed on any hd7, but they require HSPL.
Currently we do not have HSPL for HD7, so we can only use Signed ROMs.
Hope this helps

Okay, one more question then. What's an HSPL?
Thanks for your help.

Hard SPL is a modified (hacked) version of the boot-loader that gives you the ability to flash any ROM from any region, including custom made ROMs (unofficial, made by chefs) on your device

what is the difference between branded and unbranded? how do i know if my phone is branded or unbranded?

branded as in it came from an operator who customised the ROM in some way whereas unbranded was bought from HTC direct or not via an operator and is not locked to an operator.

Which latest ROM for GPS and HOW to flash it ???

Pardon my ignorance but I am confused with so much technical info here. Loads of ROMs , radio roms, RUU, SSPL, NBH .... etc etc etc.
I have got HTC P3600, original, unlocked to any network, bought in UK from expansys. So not sure whether it got CID lock or not but certainly not locked to any network / no sim lock.
I want to know:
1. Which is the latest GPS enabled ROM available TODAY, which I can use to flash my device ? (where language remains English!! and bass or other bugs solved, if possible)
2. Is there a way to find out before flashing that whether device is CID locked or not? and whether it needs to be unlocked before flashing.
3. How to flash ROM ? Kindly, I need step by step guidance from A to Z.
Which files to download, which to execute first and basically everything you need to do in order to flash gps enabled rom.
I will be much obliged for this help and guidance.
Thanks.

Hello ausdim and everyone else,
I've also got an HTC P3600 and I bought mine from a shop and it came SIM unlocked. Do you think my P3600 is CID unlocked? and this rom http://rapidshare.com/files/21139137... p.exe%7C which you have suggested dr_s to download, what is it? Is it an HTC Rom?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
i'm really confused on the roms
ok, here's are my simple questions
1. is the ROM RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe and official ROM (e.g., is it a test ROM from HTC)?
2. I have an unlocked P3600; do i need to CID unlock to flash with the RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe ROM.
4. i understand that the rom
LVSW_RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11 is a cooked ROM. Yes or No? What are the benefits of using this ROM.
thanks to anyone who answers my questions. i've flashed ROMS before and [like others] i don't want to brick my lovely device.

No. This was cooked based on the Dopod release.

I believe that this is the same ROM as the "ship" version you asked about.
I have tried both the Dopod ROM as well as the "ship" ROM, and my preference was to stay with the Dopod ROM. The green dialer skin did not apeal to me, and I had some other issues that I don't remeber at this time. The official Dopod ROM, however, (especially after being patched with Pof's radio update), has been great!
Swisscom branded Trinity has GPS and tomtom preinstalled...
May be I am late to update this..
For some days I am not following this forum but just got an update from a shop locally here and thought of adding my information.
Trinity
link here : http://www.swisscom.com/onlineshop/...andys&opn=O&sku=000000000000121030&lang=en-GB
swisscom Mobile Assistant XPA v1510
+ 1GB card
+ tomtom 6 alpine maps included user will only need to activate the maps.
At attractive price of CHF 999.
Looking at history of Swisscom devices, they are not locked. However, since all have unlok solution availbale, this will not matter.
I hope this helps trinity community..
just not note : I do not own this else I would have loved help others.

Yes all true, a friend of mine just bought this package on a 2 year contract for CHF560. Now that is a good deal! His is not getting 3G...yet. I'm sure we'll be able to turn it on with a reg hack.

Moving from T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE to better/different ROM?

I'm having a WiFi problem as outlined in this thread, but nobody seems to be able to offer any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324952
I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

You will need LokiWiz 02b to CID unlock your device (if it is a G3)

There is probably an easier method however if you run the program "Registry Wizard" it normally tells you on start up

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.
i have upgraded to WM6 3 times? and all 3 times i had problems, i am currently waiting for most of the bugs to be sorted..
keep us posted

Which ROM did you have before? What carrier?
If it's not on their website, then you'll have to wait for Hard SPL before you can flashed a dumped ROM.

Hi
The ROM i had was not for a specific carrier, it worked with the SIM card of any carrier. I bought it from the UK but i used it in the middle east.

hey guys!! i need the official upgrade for my device henever i go through the htc website they say this software is not suitable for your device, can somebody give me the direct link, heres my device serial number (S/N) :HT823GN22600
Hi guys I am looking for any compatible rom that is English. I have Diamond unit with Spanish ROM on it. I need English compatible ROM. I tried one from mediafire link above but installer gave me error saying invalid vendor id. I guess I can't just install any it needs to be specific carrier or vendor.
Here is info from about:
version: 1.93.476.3 ESN
Data 09/02/08
version 1.00.25.08
version 52.33a.25.17H
I really don't know anything about this unit I do not see any carrier markings on the box or start up screen , it looks like unbranded unit made for Spain may be. If possible provide direct link to rom I can use or may be some advice where I can look.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I tried several roms that I thought are English and all of them showed me "INVALID VENDOR" error. is there anyway you can specify ROM I can use with my unit, if you not sure what I have to begin with I'd be more than happy to provide any info needed to identify unit I have.
Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
....
CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.

HTC HD7 o2 Branded - Unbrand?

Hey,
I've got a o2 branded HD7 (original latest mango rom) which is developer unlocked using apphub.
Was just wondering if there was a way to unbrand it?
Thanks.

delete the O2 Apps, flash a Europe (aka Unbranded) Shipped ROM, or flash a Custom ROM.
for the last two... link to a tutorial in my signature, if needed.
My HD7 was like yours but ended up flashing the NewTech ROM,
there are too many restrictions and not enough features to a stock phone.
